I'm Living History: October 2014
http://imlivinghistory.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 9, 2014. I recently read a blog post by one of my favorite bloggers Kitty Calash. So that means they must not have been very rich. I ended up explaining it to my trainee this way: if the Goodwins lived today, they could not afford their own private jet, but would fly first class. Yes they had money, but they were not part of the 1%. See there were gradations back then too. Read this entry on entry page. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I'm Living History: February 2015
http://imlivinghistory.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Book Review: The Same Ax, Twice. Same Axe Twice: Restoration and Renewal in a Throwaway Age.

Monday, May 4, 2015. Clothing the Renaissance Child: It Takes a Guild. I feel like I need to apologize because I have had so little time to sew, craft and create historical stuff. What I can do is profusely thank all the wonderful people in my life who are making it possible for me to continue reenacting and participating in Living History as a family. Some of the clothes made by my guild mates for little Landsknecht. Along with the hand-me-down clothes was a fleece hood that Brittney made for Lilly....

http://imlivinghistory.blogspot.com/2013/05/intensive-immersive-weekend.html

We got in late on Friday night and had to leave early on Sunday. It would have been even eas...I mea...
